Ok, so after all is said and done in the other thread I started, here
goes another one - is there a proper upgrade path or do I just download
and extract the latest version over the top of the existing version? The
Application Usage document only mentions 'upgrade' in relationship to
convert-ly, not upgrading lilypond. Oh, I am using lilypond on a linux
(ubuntu) box.
